ProtoU and Oljus Usher You to the Land of Darkness

Tribal drums pound loud and deep through the tracks of the album, their dolorous, martial cadence a lumbering, kinetic propulsion drawing you inexorably closer to the rituals and practices within this primordial forest, but never in a hurry, nor in any perceptible rush - rather, this album moves of a whim all its own, slowly drawing the listener into its mysteries.

Void Stasis Returns with a Focused, Cosmic Dread

Inspired distorted drones and amorphous rhythms pulse in much the same way as the slimed and effluvial striations along the corridors of this hellish cave wherein we traverse, these melodies are organic, but they are also manufactured, the copper-tinged electronic taste of wiring stinging the peripheral of the mind’s palate.

Explore the Vast Reaches of Space with 'Immensity', by Silent Universe

This album contains the filtered, slow resonance of the universe all throughout, with doldrum pads and airy stabs of synths that help the mind drift along the currents of nebulae; Delicate oscillations trickle through the low rumblings like telemetry data proceeding through the vacuum of space, with heavy sub bass rising and falling intermittently to help create the sense of cosmic scale that we lack through our limited human perspective.

Fractalyst Shows the Way to the Watchtower in his Cryo Chamber Debut

“The sounds and canvas used in this album are unique, and almost “feverish” would be a term I would use to describe them, the tremulous miasma of an almost fever dream state, with dynamic use of sounds and techniques, and the distinct nature of this palette of sounds make Watchtower stand out among its peers…”

Mount Shrine Guides the Way Home (Rest in Peace, Cesare Alexandre)

All Roads Lead Home is the final testament of Cesare, a final embrace of his stylized warmth that is seemingly inimitable… Soft textures of laconic drones caress your mind, with dreamy synth and pluck atmospheres interspersing among the drone patterns.

Visit the Underground Labyrinth with Crypthios

Usually… we, the listeners, are treated to sinister drones and barely audible stabs and percussions… Crypthios refreshingly changes this paradigm with Vestigium, and rather than bestowing us with tenebrous wind and descanted, reverbed field recordings, we are treated with gentle, meandering pads and more introspective, organic notes.
